BTW, I heard some newish Weezer single on the radio

from their new album.  It sounded like a rejected Fountains of Wayne b-side.  It was even bad in comparison to the last several bad Weezer albums.  At least in the past they were decent about having an acceptable hook or some other noteworthy aspect to the tune.  This was just abysmal.  Please tell me this album bombed.  Please.

if you want to throw up in your mouth a little, go look up the Pork & Beans video on YouTube

Yeah, that's what song it was.  This makes me feel bad about liking the first two Weezer albums.  It's so bad that it's retconning my opinion of Weezer's good ol' days.

People were pretending 'Pork and Beans' was a huge return to form when it released. I'm happy you have a brain

Weezer is all about image.  Their music has always been secondary.

the video is like Crushed! The Musical

Agreed.

I like Pork & Beans. I won't watch the video though.

If you're worried about liking current Weezer then listen to the best song they've done in years - King.

What's with all the Fountains of Wayne hate too :(

i love the deluxe red album.

the video is hokey, but you have to realize it's made for normal people, and not people who are on the internet all the time.

But people who don't spend large amounts of time on the internet wouldn't understand the inane references.

Anyway, even though the lyrics are terrible, I actually like the song.

Yeah but you also think a band featuring a child star turned annoying valley girl is amazing too.

She's lived in LA all her life, but she's not a "valley girl." She's seems intelligent and down-to-Earth.

You're making my head hurt.

What twang? And she doesn't speak "Valspeak" and doesn't sprinkle a lot of qualifiers in her sentences.

She used to dress like a tom-boy, not a valley girl. Now she seems to wear a variety of regular dresses.
